while checking for the umpteenth time whether Quiz Show is available online, I discovered that Netflix has something called Example Show
it consists of a Netflix employee doing stuff outside HQ like
cartwheels
moonwalking while using his laptop
reciting passages from Julius Caesar
juggling
it has two seasons with two episodes each, all of which consist of the same eleven-minute video
if you have closed captions on, the entire video is captioned “there’s no crying in baseball!”
You can also change the audio to English with commentary by A. Director, which is a man repeatedly saying “this is director’s commentary. this is directory’s commentary. this is director’s commentary”
there’s also a Spanish audio track that appears to be looped, but is much longer than one sentence. (I think it might be more Julius Caesar.)
there are three subtitle tracks; the “english” one just says “There’s no crying in baseball!” the entire time, the “spanish” one has actual subtitles in english, and the “portuguese” one has actual subtitles in french. this is so good
this is one hell of a fucking aesthetic

Steve needs to have a Swear Jar and every time someone says a profanity in front of him, he just holds it out. The especially bad ones cost two dollars, don’t think Steve will let you get away with that. And this goes on for months and months and when Bucky starts coming around, he notices it. And he also notices how Steve doesn’t swear in front of any of the Avengers.
And when he gets Steve alone, he’s like, “what gives, you’ve got the worst mouth out of anyone I know.”
And Steve, with a perfectly innocent expression, says, “they made assumptions, Buck. I think those assumptions should at least buy a new bike, don’t you?”
And Bucky just stares at him, awed, like, “I forgot how fucking devious you are.”

It never fails to amaze me how bioethicists manage to be wrong about everything, like, I would expect that there would be a point where I would agree with bioethicists out of sheer reversed-stupidity-is-not-intelligence AND YET every time I see a viewpoint attributed to a bioethicist it is inevitably fucking stupid
bioethicists: wrong on death, wrong on suicide, wrong on augmentation, wrong on cures, wrong on ice cream cones, wrong for America
Yeah … the ice cream cone thing surprised me when I heard about it.
Wait, what. I thought Ozy was just throwing out a random joke to further take the piss out of bioethicists. I just googled and… wow. I’m irl laughing really hard. This is The Onion-grade material right here, except it actually happened.
I KNOW, RIGHT? I Googled it and got halfway through an incredulous response with a lot of ellipses in sheer astonishment that a human being said that while being serious and is still taken seriously when using that argument about non-ice cream subject matter.
Unrelatedly, I walked down the street eating ice cream today. It was great.
Transhumanists: Because they think ice cream is morally OK.

ppl on ds9 angrily blogging about problems with the plumbing, the electricity, that one corridor that’s always full of debris because it’s the first to go whenever the station is attacked. “@staff you can move the fucking space station closer to the wormhole by somehow making it lighter but my bathroom still has a cardassian toilet”
“@staff i just want to be able to use a replicator without it destroying my ability to process language is that so much to ask”
“@staff i just found a pocket of anti-gravity in the habitat ring??? bug or feature?”
“@staff-”
“I AM WORKING ON IT” types Miles O’Brien, his communicator blowing up with notification after notification. so many notifications. Miles O’Brien thought he knew what he was getting into when he joined @staff. Miles O’Brien just wants to sleep. “I LIVE HERE TOO YOU KNOW”
Sisko assigning the account to that one Vulcan intern, who writes a program that assesses the messages, current repairs status, and fakes replying.
At first everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
Six months later the program has created itself a holographic form and can be found drinking heavily with Vic.

Okay, but imagine a medieval adventure fantasy where asexuals sell their services to parties who have to travel past sirens/incubi/succubi in order to fulfill their quests.
Imagine young witches and warlocks going through a final wizardry test where they have to square off against every magical creature they’ve ever learned about, and everyone is really confused as to how that one team just strolled past the sirens/incubi/succubi, and also as to why afterwards they high-fived, said “Aced it!” and then laughed for ten minutes straight.
Imagine a villain dousing a hero with a love potion and then unshackling her, expecting mindless devotion, only to have her then stab him and say “I’m aromantic, actually.”
Imagine an incubus carefully choosing a target and ending up on her couch with a tub of ice cream as she assures him that he is really good at his job and he can’t help it that he happened to pick an ace target.
Imagine an ace sailor who has to tie up his companions in the hold and sail the ship by himself whenever they encounter mermaids, and since it’s just him it’s really slow going, and he spends the entire time griping about allosexuals to the mermaids, who in turn gripe about how sick they are of having to target sailors before the sailors target them.
Imagine a love god trying to set up a pair of aro ace soulmates and putting them in increasingly romantic and/or risque situations, only to pull his hair out in frustration as they ignore or fix every situation and just become better and better friends.
Just like, fantasy asexuals, y’all.

Imagine your OTP have been together for a while, and Person A organizes a romantic holiday.
On the last night, they’re walking along beside a river under a breathtaking sunset. Every aspect of the whole trip has been perfectly planned to make Person B as happy as is humanly possible. At a sheltered, leafy spot Person A stops and turns. Person B is nervous and excited as this person they love more than anything in the world gets down on one knee and looks up at them adoringly.
And then Person A takes a deep breath and says: We’re no strangers to love You know the rules, and so do I…
